I believe I read somewhere that Israel consumes HALF our foreign aid budget, while the rest of the world splits the other half.

Dear Suma

excellent points... however, couple of points not to lose sight of.

(1) the bulk of the money is not to be paid back ever... in the form of out right grants

(2) the total amount that we give to other nations pales in comparison...

If we are supposed to promote free world economies, we shouldn't be tilting the balance by our much needed money at home.
